Do you put the correct type of battery in because the D80/85 uses a (Green) NI-MH battery and the Botvac Connected started using a (black) Li-Ion battery? Also, try putting the old battery back in and testing to see if it will run longer. The batteries also just die over time. I left an XV with brand new batteries inside of it, when I came back they were completely dead and the plastic rapping on them was damaged from heat. I'm not the best with the software side of Neato's s ..read more

The LEDs flash alternately 2. The battery LED turns solid green 3. An error sound plays and the battery LED turns solid orange, while the info LED flashes red 4. If the robot is not connected to the base, it turns off. Otherwise, it restarts and loops the same sequence I can connect with the neatocontrol app, run the commands and receive the expected feedback (e.g. "new battery inserted") but, after less than two sec ..read more

My i7 front got so scratched from running into things it was effectively blind. So th j7has better vision. I tried putting label tape with "Nest! Nest!" on the sides of its nest but that didn't seem to help. It still has trouble finding its nest, sometimes when it's very close to it. Other times, I find it wandering around other parts of the house looking for its nest. I was thin ..read more

On the attached Reddit page "cof53a" figured out a method for getting thetgz file with an expired cert to work. The key difference was disconnecting and reconnecting the battery before plugging in the USB with the tgz file. https://www.reddit.com/r/NeatoRobotics/ ... confidence Read Main Topic ..read more
